Sanyo M1 launches on Sprint

Sprint has launched another music phone, the Sanyo M1. While the recent trend has been to launch music oriented handsets with limited memory (relying instead on a memory card slot and user upgrades), the M1 sports an impressive 1GB of internal memory. That's the most internal memory of any phone on a national carrier, but there is no expansion slot. At 23mm thick (.9"), the phone is a bit chunky when compared to other recent music phones.

The Sanyo M1 has a solid feature set for a high-end feature phone:

QVGA display with 262k colors

EV-DO data (PowerVision)

Bluetooth with A2DP stereo support

2.0 megapixel camera

Music player with external controls (MP3, AAC, AAC+) and stereo speakers

Speakerphone

Sprint is selling the Sanyo M1 for $199 with a new 2-year contract and $150 in instant savings. It's available now. Another photo of the M1 is available below.
